July 14, 1936. G. KNocHENMl-Jss JAR HOLDER 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed NOV. 20, 1955 I /\J /Byw nvenlor Q j/mca/r/Wass und A Homey Patented July 14, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

The present invention relates to a jar holder and has for its object to provide means for holding a jar While the cap thereof is being removed therefrom or applied thereto.

A further important object of the invention resides in the provision of an apparatus of this nature which is exceedingly simple in this construction, inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly eiiicient and reliable in use and operation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in View as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:-

Figure l is a top plan View of an apparatus embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view therethrough taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is another Vertical sectional view taken therethrough on substantially the line 4 4 of Figure 1 which is at right angles to that previously mentioned.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes the base plate. The numeral 6 denotes a vertical plate mounted along one of the longitudinal side edges of the base plate 5 by having a groove 1 adjacent the bottom thereof on the inner face thereof to receive the base plate 5 and to be anchored in place by suitable screws or other fastening means 8 as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1. Numeral Q denotes an end block mounted on the base 5 and having its outer wall substantiaily straight and its inner wall provided with an arcuate recess I Numeral l l denotes a strap one end of which is secured to the straight end face of the block by means of a screw l2 or other fastening element so as to provide a loop I4. A buckle is mounted in 45 this loop. This buckle comprises a pair of frames l5 and l of substantially rectangular formation in the present exempliication of the invention and the end of the strap is adapted to be engaged with the frames as shown to advantage in Figure 1 so as to extend about the outer end of the frame l5 then over the outer end thereof and under the inner end of the frame I B. In this way it will be seen that the strap may be pulled at the outer end but it cannot be pulled from the inner end.

From the above detailed description it will be seen that a jar J may be engaged in the loop of the strap in the recess I0 and held against turning movement after the strap has been tightened about the jaw so that the top may be unscrewed or screwed thereon as may be desired. In forming the loop M I utilize bolts l2 in combination with a plate l2 as shown more to advantage in Figure 2.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this invention Will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art Without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invenbase plate, a side wall plate rising from one side of 3 the base plate, a block on one end of the base plate rising therefrom, a strap fixed to the outer face of the block and adapted to form a loop disposed adjacent the inner face thereof for receiving a jar, and a knuckie associated With the strap whereby the loop may be adjusted as to its size, said buckle comprising a pair of rectangular frames, said strap having a portion providing a loop receiving one end of the frames and the free end of the strap being adapted to be engaged in and around and over the outer ends of the frames.
